Nelson Mandela's house, the Hector Pieterson Museum, Desmond Tutu's house... On this bike tour of Soweto, we'll get to know one of the most important neighborhoods of Johannesburg while learning all about the history of South Africa!
Bike Tour of Soweto
At the indicated time, we'll meet at Kumalo Street to start this bike tour of Soweto, the most enjoyable way to tour one of the most important neighborhoods in Johannesburg!
Once everyone's set up with their bikes and helmets, we'll be ready to pedal through Soweto. We'll start the tour in Killarney to tell you how Soweto was created in 1904.
We'll continue the tour by heading to the house of Lilian Ngoyi, an important anti-apartheid activist who fought for the rights of South African women. Then, we'll pedal on to the Hector Pieterson Museum, where the Soweto Uprising took place, one of the turning points against the apartheid system.
And, of course, we'll visit Nelson Mandela's house, where he lived from 1946 to 1962, before becoming president of South Africa. Following the former president's house, we'll stop at Desmond Tutu's house, where the South African clergyman and pacifist lived. Did you know that in 1984 he won the Nobel Peace Prize?
Finally, we'll give our legs a rest by taking a break for lunch. We'll taste a kota sandwich, the most typical sandwich in South Africa!
After 4 hours of biking through Soweto, the activity will come to an end and we'll say our goodbyes back at the meeting point.
